Update! Please please have a guess

Good luck tomorrow!!

I actually think the fact Turtle didn't see any gender clues in your pic's might work in your girl-favor! It means she absolutely didn't see a penis, while seeing girl parts is sometimes more difficult. I definitely think there's still room for hope though. And I think she guessed the opposite for my ultrasound because she took into consideration the angle of baby's spine & despite the slight tilt in the nub, it looks girly. Anyways, how exciting you'll know VERY soon! Yay Monday!

I hope you are right.

I'm suddenly very nervous and not sure if I want to find out, means my dreams are well and truely over. Don't think I'll be sleeping well tonight x

Good luck!!!!!! Xxxxx

Thank you x

Good luck for tomorrow, looking forward to your update and really hope it's the news that you want. Big hugs x

I hope it's your princess

Good luck, hope you get your little lady!

Good Luck!

Thank you everyone. Been up since 5.15am because couldn't sleep. Scan is at 11. I really didn't think I would be this nervous. xx

Oh good luck!

Thank you x

Best of luck this morning. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

I know the feeling, good luck hun and really hoping you hear pink - I think you have a good chance ;) x

Thank you ladies. I appreciate being able to express my true feelings on here. X

I'm thinking boy but its a tricky one not 100% convinced x

Dont think i guessed as totally 50/50. Hope you hear girl but if its boy, really it will all turn out fine. x

Thank you. Driving there now. X

good luck

Any news?? X

It's another boy :( trying to hold back the tears. He's healthy which is the main thing. X

Aww hun, huge hugs I'm sure he'll be such a special little one and you'll fall in love as soon as you see him. Take all the time you need though and don't feel guilty for crying x

Oh retrolove1... I know no words can make you feel better now :(
But as you said he's healthy.thats what matters most. Its alright to grieve now. Hope you find peace. Im really sorry.

Sorry you are feeling sad and didnt hear pink but don't feel guilty. You are mourning not having a girl and that is totally different to not wanting and loving your new son. I bet he will be the perfect addition to your family when he arrives. Take care.

Congratulations on your little boy. I know how hard it is to hear it again when you're desperate for a girl. I was in your position almost 9 weeks ago & whilst it may not feel like it now I promise it does get easier. A brother is the best gift you can ever give to your ds. We have a thread running for opposites due this winter & you're more than welcome to join. The ladies are very supportive & understanding. Huge hugs x

I'm sorry retro, I even don't know what to say. I know what you're going through right now, I'm there too. Apparently a third boy was meant for us, I still can't stop crying when I think I'll never have a girl, no matter where I am, I just can't help it. I don't understand god's plan for me, but I'm sure a boy it's the perfect fit for our family, I wish I could accept that as soon as possible. Hugs.:bighug:

Thank you so much ladies. I feel bad for just wanted to cry every time I think I will never have a daughter because I can't go through this again so this will be our last. I always saw myself with a daughter. Dreading telling family too, still no granddaughters. I didn't tell anyone about my scan today and I'm glad I didn't because I haven't been able to say much without crying. X

Please don't feel guilty for crying or feeling the way you're feeling!! I cried for days after I found out DS3 was a boy.. He's now 18 months and I thank God for him everyday. He has brought such joy to our lives!! Do what you need to do hun!! I know it's hard!!

Thank you so much. I know it will get easier. OH wants to go to his parents to tell them. I'm so worried that I will be able to tell they are disappointed and that will start me off again. X

So sorry you didn't get your dg. I saw your other post and your baby looks beautiful. It'll be okay. You have every right to cry and mourn the loss of not having a girl. You will love this little boy to bits though.

I am sorry you are hurting. I am here if you want to talk.

Oh I'm so sorry, Ive been exactly there and it's just awful to hear the opposite of what you wanted and feel guilty for feeling like that. Like lucky lass said, its ok to mourn not having a dd, it's not the same as not wanting your son. I promise it will get easier over the weeks and by the time he is due (if not way earlier) you will be so excited to meet him. I always said never another, but number 4 here we go! Take care

I am really sorry you are feeling so sad. Give yourself time to mourn your visions. I think it's probably smarter for either OH to tell his folks alone or to hold off entirely. It's not fair to you to have to deal with their emotions when you are so raw yourself. Big hugs. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you so much. Your kind words mean so much! X

I'm so sorry. My heart aches for you. Many of us have been there. My family knew I wanted a boy but they handled it very graciously.

Perhaps if you are open with your feelings they will comfort you in your time of need. There's no shame in wanting to raise both genders. If they have a little GD that's understandable. I'm sure we can all relate!

It's hard to keep this bottled up. I'm glad he looks healthy!

Retrolove,
Oh how I feel your pain! It is awful. I am pregnant with DS#4, and just KNEW he was a girl. Have felt incredibly heartbroken...found out about a month ago, and after a couple of weeks, I can say I am feeling much better now. I know I will love him the moment I lay eyes on him, but in the meantime, I am grieving the vision I had for my perfect little family. I know you are going through the same thing, and it is SO hard. But you will get there...let yourself grieve. It's okay! Huge hugs!!

I know it will all be OK in the end and like you've all said it will get easier. I'm going to be even more envious of people who have one of each now. All the old wife tales said girl, everything was pointing in that direction. X

oh no! I was waiting for this update, i'm so sorry you didn't hear pink. all of my old wives tales said girl and i'm having a boy, too. so i feel ya!

where is that opposites thread, i'd like to join!?

I'm sorry you didn't hear girl retrolove, I was really hoping you would get your DG. So so pleased baby is healthy though and congratulations on your little boy. You know yourself that boys are great, this one will be too.

This may or may not help, but I had a few days of feeling really disappointed when we found out DS2 was a boy ( I was adamant he would be our last!).. it did get better and once he was born I felt so so guilty for feeling like that because he is just wonderful and would not have him any other way. I hope when we find out a week on friday that if this one is indeed another boy, I will hopefully remember how I felt when DS2 was born.
I hope the reactions of family members don't make you feel any worse. I too am dreading telling people - we are toying with the idea of not telling anyone if we find out. Could you do that? Or maybe wait until you are feeling stronger?
Sending you lots of hugs and strength.
